Re: Welcome to Club XIII
Something about the verses has a Three Great Alabama Icons quality to me and anything that evokes that side of the band is great with me. Just to bust your chops, I note the amusing irony of your reference to a "political song." :D I mean maybe going back as far as the Brighter Than Creation’s Dark...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
Listening to the new stuff in my truck this afternoon just reaffirms my excitement about these songs. Club XIII might not be a mind blowing song but does everything have to be? Not in my mind. It’s a fun song that puts a smile on my face and I wasn’t sure they still had any interest in these kinds o...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
jimmyjack! Nice to see ya. BTW, the "less political" nature of the album has been clear for some time and when Patterson first described it that way (perhaps in an interview, possibly in one of his house concerts?) it generated virtually no controversy. My sense of the pulse (totally unscientific) ...

Hey brother. I wish I had been there. Had a conflict with a buddy coming into town that I’m only able to see a few times a year. Glad to see everybody had a great time and I will see y’all next year.

Re: 2022 Heathens Homecoming Thread - April 6, 7, 8 & 9
Does anyone know what time, typically, DBT will go on for Fri & Sat? Gonna be cutting it close from Atlanta... Also, how's the recording situation? Might bring my rig if it's not too much of a hassle. Cheers! I vaguely recall something like a 10pm (ish) walk on for Wed/Th and close to 11 for Fri Sa...

Re: What we like, Why we like and Why some things we don't
Bumping this thread only because it's one of my favorites of all time and a similar topic has been on my mind lately. Surely one that's been discussed here before, but the topic of how some folks tend to look down upon what has come to be known as "Classic Rock" that champion more critically acclai...

Cooley on the other hand, once again, can’t respond and plays the same 10-15 songs every night. I’m starting to wonder if he even wants to be there anymore? Seriously. There’s no way the band can still play a song like Gravity’s Gone with a smile on their face. Cooley played 19 unique songs over tw...

Well this escalated in a strange way. Bubba said what I was thinking. The guys haven’t played live much at all in a really long time. Are we really surprised if they’re a little bit off balance and maybe slightly off their game this early back into things? I mean as great as they are they’re just pe...
